    When Alt-Tab on my main monitor it messes up?


    When I Alt-Tab on my main 1440p 32in monitor my 2 side 1080p 27in monitors get their applications dragged to the middle and then the game tab backs into itself. Also when trying too Alt-Tab on games it won't let me get out of a black screen unless I restart my computer. This only started happening when I added my 1440p monitor to the mix it tries to make my other 2 monitors resolution change also when Alt-Tabbing and sometimes breaks the monitor into a black screen.

    Is alt+tabbing bad for your monitor or TV?

    Well your monitor will only go on and off from Alt+ TAB if you are switching from an odd resolution to the desktop resolution.
    Also you could just windowed borderless.

    Is alt+tabbing bad for your monitor or TV?

    Since I have my GTX1070 I'm gaming quite frequently, I have one 1080p LG IPS monitor (DVI-D) and one 1080p Samsung TV (hdmi) connected. I was wondering about alt+tabbing, could it reduce the lifespan of a monitor/TV in anyway? Or does it not have any affect on the lifespan?

    In the launch options write the following: -windowed -noborder

    This play exactly the same as fullscreen but now you dont have to wait 30 f*@!ing seconds to alt+tab back in!

    Also you don't get the little purple/black checkered effect (only in Source games) from alt+tabbing in fullscreen.
